Crimean prosecutor music clip hits 3.7 mn views in three days

The internet fame of Crimea’s chief prosecutor, Natalya Poklonskaya, rages on. A patchy music clip made from Poklonskaya’s videos has scored millions of views on YouTube, with a celebrity opposition figure calling the attorney a "sex symbol of Russia."

Footage of Poklonskaya's emotional speech on the coup d’état and
“chaos” in Ukraine has been making rounds on the
internet since March, but this is the first time it has been set
to music.

The chorus of the music mix, compiled by an anonymous internet DJ
known only by his alias 'Enjoykin,' could certainly be described
as simplistic.

In a combination of the official speech and several informal
interviews, Poklonskaya appears to be singing: “Power. Blood.
Nyash-myash. Blood. Power. Crimea is ours,” (which rhymes in
Russian).

The “nyash-myash” bit was apparently taken out from
Poklonskaya’s own reaction to her becoming an anime star and receiving a Russian nickname of
Nyasha – to which she replied that she would prefer to be
perceived as a prosecutor and will not allow any “nyash”
or “myash” while at her post.

On a more serious note, the rest of the clip offers cuts from
Poklonskaya's solemn statement which said that “the
anti-constitutional mayhem has led to a massive bloodshed...we
have no moral right to step aside from our people...our task is
to get the work of the prosecutor’s office back on track in this
country.”

It also features some original Japanese-style animation of
Poklonskaya fighting monsters and sending a toy boat of
'friendship' to a girl who is possibly representing Ukraine.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday afternoon,
managed to grasp 3,791,552 views and counting by Friday.

The 34-year-old blonde, who is piled up with work as the Republic
of Crimea transitions into a Russian region, was shown the clip
by Kseniya Sobchak – a Russian opposition activist, journalist,
and celebrity.

Sobchak said she was proud to be “the first journalist who
showed the beautiful prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya the
'Nyash-myash' clip,” stating on Twitter that “she is so
beautiful – the sex symbol of Russia.”

It is believed that Poklonskaya took the job after four of her
male colleagues refused to take the risk days ahead of the March
16 Crimean referendum on independence from Ukraine, in which
96.77 percent of voters chose to join Russia. The Black Sea
republic was then accepted into the Russian Federation on March
21.

The courageous blonde has said that she will “prove” she
is worthy of the position, adding that she is not afraid of
persecution by Kiev. Poklonskaya is wanted by the Security Service of Ukraine on
charges of “violent overthrow of constitutional order and
takeover of government power.”
